A must see/must so - The tour to The Pena Palace, Sintra, Cabo de Roca & Cascais was amazing. It was a full day with our wonderful guide Jorge. He is very knowledgeable about the history, has the ability to explain abundant information in a very clear way and transmits the passion for his country. The sites are worth visiting, as a matter of fact I would say a must see if you are in Lisbon. The Pena Palace is impressive and the landscape of mountains and greens, beautiful. Sintra is absolutely charming! The Cabo de Roca is grand and a sight to be seen. The coastal drive through Cascais as well as the historic center are stunning. We also had an amazing lunch of fresh fish Portuguese style in a restaurant with an amazing view.We can’t thank Jorge enough for making this an unforgettable experience.

Day long magical experience - From the time she picks you up, Sonia makes your day brighter. She has a wealth of knowledge about the Portuguese culture, literature and history that she is eager to share, and she applies it to every sightseeing stop on the trip and provides hard-to- find facts about Cascade and Sintra. Our lunch was a deep dive into Portuguese seafood (pun intended) and we had a marvelous introduction to green wine at a restaurant run by people who love what they do and certainly seem to love sharing their passion. This tour was beyond expectations, and created memories that we will hold, share and recall for the rest of our lives. Constance

Best tour and guides in Portugal! - Our experience with Sonia and Gonzolo touring Sintra/Pena and beyond was the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Both were super knowledgeable, courteous and accommodating to our large party of 14 people of different ages. They treated us like family and will never forget our experience. Thank you Sonia and Gonzolo!! Highly recommend!

Interesting palace and beautiful scenery throughout this tour! - This was a wonderful tour led by Rodrigo. He was a very good driver and very kind and very knowledgeable. The drive there was an adventure! He was great!! We enjoyed learning about the history of Peña Palace. We also enjoyed the beautiful (but, cool and very windy!) cliffs and views of Cabo da Roca. Our final stop was Cascais, which was absolutely delightful and beautiful….and much warmer than Cabo da Roca! This was a very good tour to take!

Sintra, Pena Palace, Cabo da Roca & Cascais Day Trip with Anna. - We took the full-day tour from Lisbon to Sintra with Anna and it was amazing! We went to Pena Palace, Regalaira, Cabo da Roca and Cascais. Anna was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating descriptions of each stop. We are history buffs and Anna was a wealth of knowledge about the sites we visited and the history of Portugal. She has a great sense of humor and kept us entertained all day. Anna also found a beautiful ocean-front restaurant for us to have lunch on the way to Cascais. It was a perfect day! We highly recommend taking this private tour with Anna.
